Scalable
* Ability to handle growing amount of work * Capability of a system to increase total throughput under an increased load when resources are added * A scalable system is that whose performance improves after adding hardware, proportionally to the capacity added * A routing protocol is considered scalable with respect to network size, if the size of the necessary routing table on each node grows as O(log N), where N is the number of nodes in the network.
Two key characteristics of a scalable network are flexibility and performance. Flexibility allows the network to adapt to increased loads or changes in demand without significant reconfiguration or downtime. Performance ensures that as more devices or users are added, the network maintains efficient data transmission speeds and low latency. Together, these characteristics enable a network to grow seamlessly while sustaining high service quality.
bun it lol
Scalability
characteristic of end-to-end data transmission
The characteristic path length of a network is the average number of steps it takes to travel between any two nodes in the network. A shorter characteristic path length indicates a more connected and efficient network, as it allows for quicker and more direct communication between nodes. Networks with longer characteristic path lengths may experience slower communication and reduced overall efficiency.
